Enabling or Disabling Multiple Units
Enabling or Disabling Multiple Units
You can enable multiple units per project using the
AbCommonResources-ConvertAreasLengthsToUserUnits
application parameter. When it is set to true, views and reports:
- Display area/length field titles with units; for example, "Area ft²" instead of "Area".
- Convert field values from Base Units (that is, the storage units) to User Display Units.
Fields affected by this feature include:
- Database fields that have the Numeric Format property of Area or Length in the schema (for example, bl.area_avg_em).
- Formula-based virtual fields such as Sum or Count that use the base field that has the Numeric Format property of Area or Length in the schema .
- Virtual fields that use SQL have no numeric format defined in the schema. You must tag these fields with the Numeric Format property of Area, Length in the view file .
